Snam, Edison join forces to develop Small-Scale LNG market in Italy

MILAN - Italy's gas infrastructure group Snam and France's EDF unit Edison said on Monday they signed a memorandum of understanding to work together to develop small-scale LNG.

Small-Scale LNG (SSLNG) groups together all logistics activities by which small and medium quantities of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and Bio-LNG are handled for the heavy transport, marine, and off-grid utility sectors, the groups said in a joint statement

"Our goal is to extend the infrastructure needed to accelerate the replacement of higher-emission vehicles, particularly in heavy-duty and maritime transport, and to enable the increased use of biomethane," Snam's Chief Executive Stefano Venier said.
